    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is funny. The dialogue and cut scenes are great! The murky, neon visuals are unappealing, however. Everything looks the same. The gameplay is fine (good controls, solid mechanics) but simplistic, shallow and repetitive. Exploring the world of Blood Dragon just isn't fun or worthwhile, unlike it's parent game Far Cry 3 (which was fantastic). This game is all aboutFar Cry 3: Blood Dragon is funny.

Exploring the world of Blood Dragon just isn't fun or worthwhile, unlike it's parent game Far Cry 3 (which was fantastic). This game is all about busting heads and that's all. It's fun and offers a fair few chuckles but is ultimately nothing special. That's a shame as Blood Dragon really had potential.… Expand

    Disappointed by this. Love the, music, setting and 80's camp. Hate the stealth, combat, and actual gameplay. Annoying to jam on buttons to collect stuff and heal. Shooting never feels right. Every mission seems thrown together. Open world annoyance of having going to different places to get to the gameplay. AI is terrible. Levels have the sameness after a while.

    Es un juego muy divertido para pasar el rato, pero a ver, es cortisimo, no se si vale el dinero que vale. Pero bueno, gran juego al fin y al cabo, se pasa en dos días.

    In case you still do not get it, Blood Dragon is a roller-coaster ride through a magical land filled with high-explosives and anything (and we mean literally anything) that even remotely refers to the action packed, but campy eighties. [May 2013, p.93]

    For anyone who yearns for the days of Knight Rider, new-wave, big hair and cyborg arms, Blood Dragon is an essential bit of bizarre nostalgia. [Issue#231, p.85]

    Even though it runs out of gas near the end, the outrageous weapons, offbeat setting, the intentionally cheesy lines, and fast action make Blood Dragon an enemy of cookie-cutter tyranny everywhere.
